Black Rainstorm Warning Signal Special Announcement issued by the Hong Kong Observatory at 7:45 p.m.

 

The Rainstorm Warning Signal is now Black. This means that heavy rain has fallen or is expected to fall generally over Hong Kong, exceeding 70 millimetres in an hour, and is likely to continue.

 

Because of seriously flooded roads and inclement weather conditions, you are advised to take shelter in a safe place and stay there. Parents, students, school authorities and school-bus drivers should listen to radio or television announcements on schools. Do not attempt to travel until the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is no longer in force and traffic conditions have improved.

 

According to present indications, the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is expected to last for a couple hours.

 

Please listen to radio or watch television for traffic conditions and further announcements on the rainstorm.

Also, Typhoon Signal 3 is still hoisted.
